Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Set a roasting rack into a roasting
pan large enough to accommodate your turkey breast.

Place bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook
until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and reserve
bacon fat. After bacon is cool, finely chop it and place it in a medium size
bowl along with the garlic, sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, butter, 1 teaspoon
of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together
to form a compound butter paste.

Using your hands, gently loosen the skin of the turkey
breast away from the flesh, creating a pocket. Spread half of the compound
butter under the skin of each breast half. Use your to push and spread the
butter evenly under the skin.

Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with the remaining
salt and pepper. Using a basting brush, brush the skin of the turkey with the reserved
bacon fat, making sure the entire breast is well coated. Place prepared turkey
breast on roasting rack.

Bake the turkey breast, uncovered, for about 1 hour and
15 minutes – 1 hour and 30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer placed
into the thickest part of the breast reads 165 °. **Be sure to check the thickest part of the breast to ensure
doneness.
